MR.. wATTERsoNS VIEWS
Article in Louisville Courier Journal Though
the readers of the Courier-Journal will find moth
ing that is wholly new TO them In the Presi-
way, in fact, to dsavow apv inteDtion to in
struct-they will meet in its perusal along with
many strong, terse expressions. many old, famil-
lar friends The lnfantue mendlcant, hundred
years of age, is treated to the dsdain he merits,
and excellent and sound argument is made to
contradict the fallacies that high tariffs make
high wages cheaper the necessary commodl-
ties entering into the daily living of the poor.
On this point the message is most elaborate and
emphatic, making it clear that the President
has resolved no longer to neglect a field OF pub
lie usefulness TO which the Democratic party
needs most to address itself. That field is the
real interest of the great body of wage-earners
they should be fearlessly educated out of the
fslsehood that protection protects them.
Taken in connection with Mr.. Carlisles ad-
mrable remarks on assuming the chair. these
pages from the message at once significant
and encouraging. They mean that there is one
fence which shall not again attempt 10 strad-
out of the supposed ignorance and credulity OF
the work-people Not until we leap this and
take the middle Of the highway of honest, cour-
aeeous discussion. shall we make any progress
in dissipatine an illusion which. through the
help of humorous. time serving Democrats. tho
Republi have hitherto been erabled TO work
to their exclusive profit.
Attention is called to analogous points neither
to belirte the message nor to extol the Courier
Journal but answer to a concerted move
ment on the part of certain protectionist news-
papers in the East of late to create the impress
sion that the Courier Journal is fighting upon a
different and more extreme line of reform than
the Administrations misrepresentation which
these quotations and, indeed, the entire body OF
the message completely explode. It is for the
unfair critics of the Courier-Journal now TO
their cavils and fall into the column led
by the President to fall out and into the ranks
of the Republican party. There is DO longer
middle ground TO stand on and still less to fight
on.

A Military Revolt In China.

The Chinese frontier town of Dub

by military revolt. Four officers, with
one general, were killed, and three forts
set on fire. The commander-in-chief fled
to the lakes. The panic was indescriba-

touched anybody or anything in the city
the entire population took to flight and
the governor of the neighboring Russian
posts made ready to meet an attack if
the Chinese should pursue the townsfolk.
But they did not. They seized all the
provisions and every cent of money they
could find in the barracks and decamped.
